Knepper Expands With 10-color MAN Roland

The general commercial and publication printer chose a five-over-five perfecting configuration as a way to build business. The press' 12,000 sph perfecting capabilities, in a single pass, enables Knepper to vie for short-run publication work against competitors doing those jobs on full webs.

Knepper also acquired the digitally controlled MAN Roland InLine sheeter as part of the productivity package on the new press. Ted Ford, co-owner of Knepper Press, believes the sheeter will make his company more competitive.
